Lindsay Pereira, general manager of SecurMatic, explained that “Cyber threats to the travel industry are growing and will not slow down anytime soon. Cybercrime affects the online and offline sectors. Hackers target travel companies with the aim of stealing customers personal & payment information for fraudulent activity.”
Pereira pointed out that: “Travel companies have been slow to implement security programs to protect personal information. Companies need to understand what information assets to protect, how to protect it, ensure compliance to relevant regulations, train employees and build a response plan to mitigate as much damage as possible when the inevitable does occur.”
SecurMatic’s cybersecurity solutions are comprised of a 24/7 cyber threat detection and incident response service; manage security products such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention (IDS / IPS) devices; execute regular penetration and vulnerability tests across in-house reservation and back office systems.
Compliance/Advisory services supports organizations to build their security programs, perform risk and controls assessments, framework assessments (NIST), GDPR and PCI compliance etc.
